I've always taken Germans to be the most intelligent Western Europeans. Recently, that perception has slipped due to how poor their leadership has become but this shows me that the intellect of average German citizens is intact.

Edit: I mistook this and thought the poll was in Germany. This is in France and it is showing me impressive (well, to a low standard) things about the French. I think they should do one in Germany so we see if the French or Germans are more intelligent. The British, there is very little hope for them.
The result differs depending on whether you hook the rewards paddle to a biscuit treat or an electric shock. But showing them a photo of a smiling Putin consistently results in them trashing the experiment room

Why Twitter had such a big office in India anyway? What are the engineers of Silicon Valley doing?
It is quite a normal practice to outsource certain IT tasks to India. People even outsource troubleshooting & call centers/complain handling to Indian company (that causes rises of Indian scam call centres, but thats another story).

I saw that 60 minutes story on social media. China is not sending the "opium" version of TikTok to the rest of the world. That's what the rest of the world wants of TikTok. The "Chinese" TikTok is typical of what Chinese want so there's no innocent West being influenced by foreign concepts. Mark Zuckerberg is actively trying to divert attention to TikTok for the problems cited that Facebook creates. I saw Fareed Zakaria on Bill Maher's show and he even brought up that he doesn't understand how a bunch of teenagers dancing is a threat to US national security and this British guy that's on the show too supposedly writing about how bad social media is only can bring up China's access to data like how all social media makes money if people want it for free. There's no bad influence like how Twitter and Facebook do. It's just China stealing data of a bunch of nobodies that most likely won't amount to anything. What it comes down to they don't like TikTok because it's a international Chinese success not a Western success and that sums up what the West is afraid of most... The Chinese winning over them.

China version of MMORPGs are forced to run phone/ID recognition to play. Else you get disconnected every 30 minutes and you can't play more than X Hours a day. That is what they called anti-addiction policy. In west it could violates scores of human rights even. In the West they even make fuss about DRMs. You are free to access Apps and Games in China, but when it gets detrimental to health and society, the government steps in, as they should. I don't see anything wrong about China forcing Apps maker to adhere to their policy. On data farming, its all ok if Facebook/Meta, Twitter, Instagram etc collect data, when Chinese companies does it its suddenly wrong and immoral.

How China Lost America​

It is quiet simple actually. Xi found out that officials in the US government had a F**k China week and went “oh crap, we need to protect our motherland from sexual assault”.
